Hi Kiran, there are many possible reasons for the problem. Beside the limits on the number of processes the stack size in the Java VM and the system (see java -Xss and ulimit -s).
I think in local mode there should be only one mapper and consequently only one thread spent for parsing. So the number of processes/threads is hardly the problem suggested that you don't run any other number crunching tasks in parallel on your desktop. Luckily, you should be able to retry via "bin/nutch parse ..." Then trace the system and the Java process to catch the reason.
